I'm in Mensa, and yes, I solved the problem with ease. I think the negative comments here are likely coming from people who got the problem wrong, but let me say this: having an average to an above-average-yet-not-genius IQ is nothing to be bothered about. My intelligence has not made me any happier or more successful than any other person I know. It was, in fact, a handicap in my formative years, especially as I'm female and in my day girls weren't looked upon as being able to be as smart as boys. I've always been thought of as "weird" because my mind works differently than just about everyone I know. I go on tangents and no one knows what I'm talking about. I'm forty now and it took me just about my whole life to embrace my otherness. Now my friends appreciate that I'm different and when i go on tangents it's kind of funny, like "there she goes again." It's not so bad...but...it can be a really lonely place here in my mind.

Syke how do you deal with being so smart? Sometimes i just want to end it all you know

Please don't mock me man. I didn't know how to say what I wanted to say w/o sounding like an arrogant douche. It's like talking to some girl at a party and she's like "omg like actually have you even, like, seen jersey shore, omg snooki is so precious. i absolutely wish i was, like, like her or w/e, you know? like, she's pretty okay right?"

like ugh you blow.

Dude be nice.

Indicates a desire to be ranked above the average person. I imagine that has something to do with her social problems (oh MY GOD why wont u listen to my AMAZING tangents didnt u see me solve that puzzle?)
